15. Parker is a "Mom next door" face for the rightwing

Sun Aug 25, 2013, 03:28 PM

Aug 2013

Her PoV isn't really much different than that of rightwing wackos like Ann Coulter, except that Parker puts more effort into airbrushing her text, to create a more centrist and appealing first impression

Some DUers will remember her suggestion (put in the mouth of a supposed military friend) that various Democratic candidates should be lined up and shot. In that particular case, Parker had second thoughts and sent out a new version of the column before many newspapers published the original version: in the new version, her military friend merely said various Democratic candidates should be slapped in the face

What we might learn from that incident is that Parker's first drafts are foamingly rabid rightwing shizz, which she then edits to convey a daintier "Mom next door" chat-style, in hopes of disguising the underlying ugliness of her political perspectives
